Lo in the orient when the gracious light
Eis que no oriente, quando a graciosa luz
Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
Ergue sua ardente cabeça, cada olho abaixo
Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
Presta homenagem à sua nova e aparecida visão,
Serving with looks his sacred majesty,
Servindo com olhares à sua sagrada majestade,
And having climbed the steep-up heavenly hill,
E tendo escalado a íngreme colina celestial,
Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
Assemelhando-se à forte juventude em sua meia-idade,
Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
Ainda assim, olhares mortais adoram sua beleza,
Attending on his golden pilgrimage:
Assistindo à sua dourada peregrinação:
But when from highmost pitch with weary car,
Mas quando do mais alto ponto, com carro cansado,
Like feeble age he reeleth from the day,
Como a débil velhice, ele vacila ao fim do dia,
The eyes (fore duteous) now converted are
Os olhos (antes obedientes) agora se voltam
From his low tract and look another way:
De seu baixo caminho e olham para outro lado:
So thou, thyself out-going in thy noon:
Assim tu, a ti mesmo superando em teu meio-dia:
Unlooked on diest unless thou get a son.
Morres sem ser visto, a menos que tenhas um filho.

Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Tu que és música ao ouvir, por que ouves a música com tristeza?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
O doce não guerreia com o doce, a alegria se deleita na alegria:
Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
Por que amas aquilo que não recebes com prazer,
Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
Ou então recebes com prazer o teu próprio desgosto?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
Se a verdadeira concórdia de sons bem afinados,
By unions married do offend thine ear,
Unidos em harmonia ofendem o teu ouvido,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds
Eles apenas te repreendem docemente, tu que confundes
In singleness the parts that thou shouldst bear:
Na solidão os papéis que deverias desempenhar:
Mark how one string sweet husband to another,
Observa como uma corda, doce esposo de outra,
Strikes each in each by mutual ordering;
Toca cada uma na outra por mútua ordenação;
Resembling sire, and child, and happy mother,
Assemelhando-se ao pai, e ao filho, e à feliz mãe,
Who all in one, one pleasing note do sing:
Que todos em um, uma nota agradável entoam:
Whose speechless song being many, seeming one,
Cujo canto silencioso, sendo muitos, parecendo um,
Sings this to thee, 'Thou single wilt prove none'.
Canta-te isto: 'Tu, sozinho, provarás ser ninguém'.

Is it for fear to wet a widow's eye,
Será por medo de umedecer o olho de uma viúva,
That thou consum'st thyself in single life?
Que te consomes a ti mesmo na vida solitária?
